With dietary sugars entering the plaque, anaerobic glycolysis results in acidogenesis (acid production) and accumulation of acid in the plaque.

This drop is important because enamel begins to demineralize between pH 5.0 and 5.5.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
